Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Small

This one is slightly smaller than my 2003 version which took some abuse and still looks great! I got this new one to use as a gym bag for my cycling shoes, and then a purse when I'm with the kids and need to carry water bottles. It's got a bunch of pocket and despite being able to fit a lot, it's pretty compact. I only wish I could remove the shoulder pad from the strap but can't because the strap is attached at both ends, compared to the older models that has one end of the strap open and only threaded through the buckle part on the side. I still love this bag tho! Fits an iPad in the internal sleeve portion, but barely fits my laptop. There's a clasp in one of the front pockets to attach keys. And two mesh (small) water bottle holders on the inside.

After 10 years of daily hard use, my old Timbuk2 started to fall apart, so I decided to get a new one. My old bag was bigger, and I love this size - it's perfect for daily commute and hauling all my teacher-junk around. I was worried the quality wouldn't be as spectacular as my old bag, but to my relief the new bag seems just as good.

I use it for commuting. It's versatile, comfortable to carry, holds a ton and looks great.

Great bag for work or play, and very "accommodating." Its' size is quite deceiving; it holds a lot - for a weekend getaway to all your laptops needs - you can't go wrong.

This bag is made with really high quality. I love how much space the bag offers. The color is perfect. I like that the bag is waterproof inside and out. My son will be using his bag as he goes to serve a mission for our church.

Perfect size for transport i use it while riding my motorcycle

It's been great so far! It holds study materials, a snack, water bottle and epi pen - everything I need to get through classes.

I had to buy the classic messenger bag in XS and the micro classic bag because I love the bag so much! The S is perfect for a laptop, chargers, and basic necessities for work when out in the community. The XS is great for a daily bag. The micro is perfect for when you can only cary the minimum - holds just the necessities (phone, keys, wallet, and a few other misc. small items).

I use this product as my everday carry bag. The XS is the perfect size for carrying around my essentials on public transport or on my bike without feeling weighed down.

It hold just the right amount and firs securely on the bike of my bike riding son. He is very happy with it!

I first saw a Timbuk2 bag two years ago and it was love at first sight. A few months ago, I was finally able to buy one for myself and it is the best bag I have ever possessed! I have been carrying it everywhere I go - to my office (with laptop in it) and travel (with my photography gear) and its the most practical, comfortable, stylish, and awesome bag ever! I am definitely going to get myself a few more :D

I bought this a a birthday gift for my son to use when he commutes. It has worked perfectly. Holds plenty of stuff including his laptop and stays put while cycling.

My husband loves everything about it.

Bought this for my 18 yo son for college and it's worked great. I love the adjustable width to accommodate more or less items. Strap adjustment is easy and fast for repositioning bag when my son rides his bike. The standard size bag has lots of room for his needs including a laptop. I know he likes it because he uses it and has it with him every time he comes home. I read many positive reviews about this Timbuk bag and it does not disappoint.

This bag replaces one I bought back in 2005 whose lining has cracked and rendered it no longer waterproof/resistant. I use this bag for work, weekend trips, grocery runs, errands, pretty much everything. I love the design updates, the exterior handle, water bottle pockets, and strap cover. Really luxe. Always happen with Timbuk2 bags

Going back to the office 3 days a week and working 2 days at home requires dragging laptop, lunches, coffee and water bottles from home to car to parking structures and back. This big bag keeps everything sorted and dry through all weather.

I carry two laptops back and forth to work everyday (as well as all the other miscellanea of commuter culture) and, yet, had never invested in a decent bag. I went through a string of cheap and/or promotional bags over the years - often one for each machine, which was a royal pain -, despite being pretty much constantly frustrated with the arrangement. I finally decided to invest in a good bag (i.e. a Timbuk2 bag), and, boy, do I feel like a melonhead for not doing it sooner. It fits everything I need, while remaining comfortable and streamlined to carry. It's an absolute pleasure to use, and Timbuk2 - in my opinion - deserves it's stellar reputation. I could easily see myself never using a different brand of bag again.

This is the perfect sized bag for my small laptop, charging cable, and a few other necessities for me, who only goes into the office 2 days a week. Easy to carry, and a great size for the crowded commuter trains. Not too big, not too small. Lots of pockets for car keys, cell phone, ear buds, etc. Would definitely buy again!

The perfect size to carry my iPad and spare pairs of glasses.

I've had my bag since they first opened back in the '90's. It's travelled with me all over the world and has proven to be tough and versatile wherever I go! As you'd expect from all that use it got a little tattered around the edges so to speak. Sent the bag to them and they replaced the front edging at no charge.

My daughter is loving her bag. She looks so cool and no longer overloads her backpack.

I love my bag. It is resistant, it has a very good support on the neck. I love the distribution from the inside. I believe an open back pocket for documents would make it perfect. The quality is amazing.

Perfect for daily use. 13' laptop is snug.

I use this bag every day. It has replaced all my other backpacks. It is handsome and rugged. I love it.

This is a great bag for my office needs. The only thing I would change and that would be to add some kind of rubber grip to the shoulder strap. I find it slips off my shoulder all the time.
